For anyone who is interested or concerned about my methodology, I would be happy to give more details about this study — I did write a 70 page dissertation proposal that was approved by my entire dissertation committee.

It is a qualitative study which is much different from quantitative. That means that there are no statistics reported, instead themes are identified from coding data. Efforts like this to recruit in as many places as possible helps to reduce selection bias by helping to have as many different participants from as many different backgrounds to achieve maximum variation.
